Since I DIY all my juice, I don't really fear running out. I just stock up in advance and I'm good for the next year or so. As far as gear goes, I've got 2 great mechs, with plenty of spare parts to rebuild them if necessarry, and 2 dedicated rba's each, plus a couple more rba's. A ton of wick and 100ft of wire (on the way). 2 chargers ( 1 i4 intelli and 1 cheapy, though I'll upgrade that to a i2 intelli soon enough) and about 8 18650's and 4 18350's. I could use some more batts, but other than that I'm good for a long time to come.

2 ego batts, and a spinner that just died. Going to gut it for a mod. 2 ego chargers 3 attys (looking to get a rebuildable) 3 10450s I bouhgt for my Janty stick which is history and use in small mods. Enough nic base and vg for about a gallon of juice. Not nearly enough. Am ordering 510 connectors, 18650 batts and chargers. For peace of mind, I recommend learning modding basics. If you can build even a nicostick or flashlight mod, you have infinite backups (some assembly required)

    My daily carry vape gear is a vMod XL and a vMod 2.0, a and for stealth- a eRoll.
    At home I use my bigger mods- my eVic, Natural, Bolt and TEC....and my eGos, twists and pass through.

    So, for a new Vaper...you would want your main vape gear....
    And two alternative means of Vaping.
    I would highly recommend at least one of those be a fully mechanical mod and a couple of RBAs.

    Batteries you can get, wick, wire, PG and VG, flavorings...
    And mods- I can build or repair...
    But if the worst comes, nic could be a problem !
    That is why I DYI all my juice (except for the 200 or so ml's of juice I bought when I started that's left- using it up !)
    I have enough nic base, flavorings, PG and VG for a few years !
    This, for me is 'Vape Security' !

    Instead of listing everything I've purchased, I'll list what I take with me for an overnight trip.
    Provari v2 and 2 - AW 18650 batteries
    Kamry K101 mechanical and 2 - AW 18490 batteries
    1 Charger
    1 Phoenix clone dripping atty
    1 GP spheroid RBA
    30 awg Kanthal wire
    3mm and 2mm silica wick
    At least 30 ml liquid
    Eyeglass repair screwdriver kit

    Probably overkill but with this kit I feel prepared. I feel like I need another charger though so that will be my next purchase.

    Well alrighty then seeing some of what people have I don't feel so bad.
    I have:

    1. Four joyetech 650 mah's used primarily at home ( while charging my dailys )
    2. Two ". 900 " twists out and about
    3. One ego v-v2 1200 mah variable voltage. I use that while driving and home.
    Kanger pro tank
    Smoktech Pyrex tank
    A few kanger tips

    One poster was right take your time buying stuff because it can become an addiction.
    I do want to get that Itaste square battery 2600 mah.
    Just because I do believe u can never have too many batteries.
    I read on here in the new members forum early on
    after someone started a thread that his batt screwed up on the.
    So,e ones response was "make sure your back ups have backups "
    I really don't want to ever be in a position where I have to make a choice.
    To me at this point in my life it is a need

    I'd say I'm relatively new to all this but I've already accumulated dozens of clearos, half dozen batteries, a few boxes of cartos, few boxes of spare wicks, enough different types and flavors of juice to fill the dozens of clearos and cartos, at least 5 or 6 chargers, an eroll, 510, and ego-c, etc. I still have a box of these just in case ... Lol

    CVS Nicotine Polacrilex Lozenge 4 Mg Mint - CVS pharmacy

    i used to spend over $200 a month on cigarettes. It doesn't take long to accumulate a good bit of gear and juices while still saving half that.

    Wow, how does everyone even get to use all their devices? Do u just feel like using one model over the other some days?

    I have 2 v2 e cigs and just ordered a Vamo. Also ordered 2 18650 batteries and 1 charger, 2 mini vivi novas, 4 vivi coil heads, 2 protanks with 5 heads, 2 extra 18350 batteries and a partridge in a pear tree.

    For me, I don't use all of them all the time like the Boge revolution that got a lot of use is boxed up now. And a few egos, still in the wrapper. I have 4 or 5 egos around the house ready to grab and vape with different flavors. My vamo, flashlight mod and eroll pretty much get used everyday. The rest are backups for backups. 2 years of collecting adds up. You will love your Vamo, but i'm not so sure about the Partridge. I hear they are messy.

    For home backups, I keep a few sheets of SS mesh, some meters of kanthal and silica, and at least 100ml of 50mg+ nico base. 4 batteries of each size, all usually in rotation. No benefit in stocking up on batteries, imho. For juices, I either mix my own or order up another 2-3 bottles when I'm down to one of pre-mixed juices. I stick to only 2-3 pre-mixed, so it's not much of a hazzle.

    I usually just use 2 Agas and an Igo-L.

    Got ~50 cartos, but I go through maybe one a month of those. Not a big fan, but they are quite handy in a tank.

    For outdoors use, I usually bring a 18350 and a 18500 mod with an Aga and/or a dripper. One spare battery. Bottle of juice. Lately I've been bringing only one mod and one atty. Feeling confident. But I know it'll bite me on the ... one day. Then again, I don't NEEEED to vape like I did with cigs.
